The Dutch team will want to make a strong start to the season by qualifying for the European Conference League group stage. The Norwegian team has had its ups and downs, but they are just one step away from scoring their first goal of the season. Check out our AZ Alkmaar vs Brann prediction to place the best bet.
The best betting tips and AZ Alkmaar vs Brann predictions
Halftime AZ Alkmaar
The Chesse farmers demonstrated that their success was not restricted to pre-season friendly matches. So far, they have won seven consecutive games, four of which have been official contests.
The Norwegian team has met the requirements to advance to this round. They have lost four of their past five away games, so I believe AZ Alkmaar will win the opening game.
Both teams to score – no
The visitors will struggle to score at least one goal because their opponents have conceded very few goals in their recent home games. Indeed, the Dutch have maintained three clean sheets in their last five home games.
The Norwegian club must make defensive modifications after three consecutive clean sheets. My second prediction for AZ Alkmaar against Brann is that only one team will score.
Under 2.5 Goals
Despite the winning streak, it should be noted that AZ Alkmaar scored less than 2.5 goals in the only two elimination matches. They also managed to keep a clean sheet in both the first leg and the away game.
We expect the Dutch team to be even more solid in defense now that qualification is just a step away. Only one or two goals are likely.
AZ Alkmaar vs Brann match preview and latest team news
AZ Alkmaar
Pascal Hansen’s squad has made a fantastic start to the season, winning all of their games. They now lead the Eredivisie and have won all of their Conference League qualifiers.
With three goals and one assist, striker Vangelis Pavlodos has been their most outstanding player thus far. He’s also worked well with Ernest Poku, who had three assists..
Brann
Coach Eirik Horneland has had a tense few weeks as he battles not just for a place in European competition, but also for first place in the Norwegian Premier League. Brann’s team is small, so the continual rotation and weariness have taken their toll.
With 12 goals and 4 assists in the league, striker Bardo Finne has been the team’s most complete player. His goals in the playoffs were also crucial in getting to this point.
